We've done all that stuff in the past. It takes a very large opening to cram anything in. We use that on our Drag Supra and its affects are minimal and that car is 2200hp.

So the 2nd part, pressures. Ram air can work on a Turbo. Any increase in pressure before the compressor will reduce the operating pressure ratio that the compressor operates at. This reduces compressor speed, increases efficiency, and decreases delta temperatures for the same PSI.
